Amos 5:18-27
18Woe unto you that desire the day of Jehovah! To what end is the day of Jehovah for you? It shall be darkness and not light: 19as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20Shall not the day of Jehovah be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? 21I hate, I despise your feasts, and I will not smell [a sweet odour] in your solemn assemblies. 22For if ye offer up unto me burnt-offerings and your oblations, I will not accept [them]; neither will I regard the peace-offerings of your fatted beasts. 23Take away from me the noise of thy songs, and I will not hear the melody of thy lutes; 24but let judgment roll down as waters, and righteousness as an ever-flowing stream. 25Did ye bring unto me sacrifices and oblations in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 26Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your images, the star of your 1god, which ye had made to yourselves; 27and I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith Jehovah, whose name is the 2God of hosts.
